    Moving from Illustrator>Acrobat 7>Illustrator flattens files if...

    badchess Community Member

      I save an Illustrator CS4 file as a .pdf.

       

      I open it in Acrobat 7.1.4 Standard, and add a cover sheet.

       

      If I reopen the .pdf file in Illustrator the file has lost its layers.

       

      This does not happen if I don't add a 2nd page in Acrobat.

       

      However Acrobat 7 still shows the layers on the layer tab, and has a cake icon saying "this document has layers" but Illustrator does not pick up the layers.

       

      Is there some setting in Illustrator 14.0.0  that will prevent this flattening?
